Falling

What this archetype looks like

Your answers describe feelings that are growing deeper: the excitement is still there, but so are care, comfort and acceptance of who they really are. This is the stage where a crush turns into something steadier. It is also a good moment to be gently honest, with yourself first. What do you want? What do you know about them, and what are you still imagining? A small, kind step, such as telling them you enjoy their company, lets your feelings meet reality at a pace that feels safe.

Strengths

• Excitement and care are growing together
• You see them as a real person
• You are in a good position to take a small step

Watch-outs

• Moving faster than the two of you know each other
• Deciding how they feel before they have said it

What to do with this

• Share something real about yourself and see how they respond
• Spend time in situations that are not perfect or planned
• If you tell them how you feel, make it easy for them to answer honestly
